ACPI issues on new Dell system

Purchased a new Inspiron 530 desktop from Dell.  Tried to install FBSD7-REL on it and failed
@ booting off the CD into the installer.  Changed bios to access SATA in RAID mode which enabled
them to be AHCI devices and was able to boot and do a network install.  Once installed 
I rebooted and the box blew up (kernel panics all over) after printing:

acpi0: <DELL FX09   > on motherboard

I left it for awhile and came back and magically it was booted.  I suspect however
that the system is not sable and needs some investigation/ fixes thus I am contacting
you.

Disabling ACPI does not fix the problem in fact it presents me with a missing root disk.
